Linda-Lee Scott, 78

Linda-Lee Scott, 78, of Center Harbor, died peacefully on the afternoon of Nov. 4, 2026, with her dear friend Lynn by her side.

Linda-Lee was born on Feb. 14, 1948, in Reading, Massachusetts, the second of two children born to Charles and Myrtle Waelde. She graduated from Reading Memorial High School in 1965, and went on to graduate from UMass Amherst in 1970. That same year, she married the love of her life, James “Scotty” Scott. They shared 47 years of marriage until his passing in 2017.

She was the loving mother of Khristopher Scott and his wife Karyn of Salida, Colorado, Kimberlee-Ann Turgeon of Center Harbor, and Kory Merrill Scott and his partner, John Joseph Mahoney III, of Boston, Massachusetts. She was also the beloved Nana and Grammie to Myah and Gavin Scott and Wyatt Earp Scott Turgeon.

Linda-Lee was known throughout her life for her love of singing and teaching. From traveling through Europe with the University of Massachusetts Chorale Group, to teaching music in the Franklin School District, at Moultonborough Central School, and at Plymouth Elementary School, she touched countless lives through her love of music. Her former students would still run up to her for a hug years after leaving her classroom, a testament to the lasting impression she made on those around her. She shared her beautiful voice at countless events throughout her life. Music was a part of who she was and remained a lifelong passion.

Family and friends will honor and remember Linda-Lee’s life by gathering for calling hours at Mayhew Funeral Home, 204 Daniel Webster Hwy (Routes 3 and 104), Meredith, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., on Friday, Nov. 13, followed by a graveside service at Holland Hill Cemetery in Moultonborough.

A celebration of Linda-Lee’s life will follow at Hart’s Turkey Farm Restaurant from 3 to 5 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Concord Community Music School at ccmusicschool.org/make-a-donation.

The family extends its heartfelt gratitude to all of Linda-Lee’s caregivers, especially Lynn Tobin whose kindness, compassion, and dedication helped keep her comfortable and cared for until the end.
